George Romero’s Knightriders Gets a Blu-ray Release

Arrow Video is bringing George Romero’s Knightriders to Blu-ray with a worldwide release on April 22, 2013. It will get a specially restored deluxe edition that will include both DVD and Blu-ray copies of the film, along with a host of special features and collectorâ€™s items.

A traveling troupe of jousters and performers are slowly cracking under the pressure of hick cops, financial troubles and their failure to live up to their own ideals. The group’s leader, King Billy, is increasingly unable to maintain his warrior’s rule while the Black Knight is being tempted away to LA and stardom, as they all have to ask why they were here in the first place.

Collectorâ€™s booklet featuring brand new writing on the film by author and critic Brad Stevens, an archival interview with Romero, and a new interview with composer Donald Rubinstein, illustrated with original archive stills and posters.
